My Students

4th grade is such an important time in a child's life. In this grade, a teacher will learn if a child will struggle with reading or just absolutely love it.

Teachers are champions of every student that walks through their door.

No matter what the ability or disability might be.

My students are no different. Learning is easy for some and harder and more challenging for others. All of them deserve to have the tools and resources that will let them succeed.

My Project

These materials will ensure that students can be in class and not have to think about the pressure of being in class unprepared. This year in particular requires teachers to have the materials in class necessary for every child. The pressure that these kids will be under is unlike any time before so we must ensure that the pressures outside of the virus are minimized. Not every student has access to pencils, erasers, and basic cleaning materials so it's on us to supplement these items.

These kids are the future so I will make sure to protect our most valuable resource.

The materials purchased will be used every day and their value can never be quantified. A classroom should be a source of pride for a student so it is important that it is colorful and engaging. The difference between a warm and fun classroom and a dark and starts with the appearance. Bright and beautiful posters are a great way for students to become engaged and serious about their learning. Reading can be the greatest pleasure that someone has but it needs to be accessible to them. This is why each student will hopefully be getting their own copy of Charlotte's Web that we will be reading together.
